We herein report in eight patients a new phenotype associated with <em>ABCB4</em> gene mutations, characterized by a typical LPAC symptomatic disease associated with large uni- or multifocal spindle-shaped dilations of the intrahepatic bile ducts without any bile duct stenosis, and filled of gallstones. We excluded from this series, the patients with minimal intrahepatic bile duct dilations, with bile duct stenosis, with focal or diffuse irregular bile ducts compatible with the diagnosis of sclerosing cholangitis, with bile duct dilations that did not contain stones or alternatively with stones in bile ducts without large dilations. The prevalence of this phenotype does not exceed 5 to 10% of the patients with LPAC syndrome. Importantly, the ABCB4/MDR3 mutations observed in this series did not differ from those observed in patients with LPAC syndrome with no or minimal intrahepatic bile duct dilations that could suggest a specific genetic background in this setting. This variant shows similar sensitivity to ursodeoxycholic acid and may be partly reversible under long-term therapy. In summary, we describe here a peculiar cholangiographic phenotype of the LPAC syndrome characterized by single-shaped large bile duct dilations filled with cholesterol or brown-pigment stones. This phenotype is not associated with a peculiar type of <em>ABCB4</em> mutation.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":12508,"journal":{"name":"Gastroenterologie Clinique Et Biologique","volume":"34 6","pages":"Pages 380-387"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2010-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1016/j.gcb.2010.04.011","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"29044493","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
